[FRIAM] falsifying the lost opportunity updating mechanism for free will

[Russ Abbott]

Actually, I was hoping for more of a real-life example, like deciding when
to go for a bike ride -- which is what I'm now considering. Variables
taking on values isn't something I normally associate with discussions of
free will.

Although since you mentioned it, how does the system decide whether to
process A or B? Isn't that what you want to explain?
